Richard Dunne will most likely stick with Aston Villa for the upcoming season, but his future has been up in the air ever since his deteriorating relationship with former boss Gerard Houllier disrupted Villa's season last year.

But Dunne's track record earns him a spot on this list.

The Irishman is an extremely aggressive tackler, and has eight career red cards show for it.

He also has accumulated seven own goals, which hasn't earned him much favor with the fans.

To be fair, Dunne is much more disciplined these days. But his rogue youth continues to plague him—fans like him best when they see his back.

Emmanuel Adebayor

Emmanuel Adebayor could conceivably return to Real Madrid once again this year, but has also been connected to Blackburn.

Regardless of where he ends up, Adebayor will undoubtedly find ways to irritate fans to no end.

The Togolese striker frustrated Arsenal fans with his lazy attitude, and proceeded to leave the club for Man City in a very ungracious manner.

To make matters worse, after scoring in a game against the Gunners, Adebayor sprinted across the field to celebrate in front of Arsenal faithful, a classless gesture that makes him one of the most disliked players around the world.

Ashley Cole

Ashley Cole has no concept of boundaries.

Back in 2005, he somehow ended up in the same hotel as Jose Mourinho and Peter Kenyon of Chelsea in a not very subtle way to finagle a move to Samford Bridge. He tried to play the whole thing off as a coincidence.

On the pitch, he is quite the whiner, petulantly complaining about calls when he commits blatantly cheap fouls.

Best of all though are his off-the-pitch antics.

Last February Cole shot and wounded a 21-year-old intern at Chelsea's practice facilities with a rifle.

The incident makes you imagine what goes through Cole's head on a day-to-day basis. What possibly could have made Cole think it was okay to wander around his workplace with a loaded rifle?

The poor intern probably just wanted an autograph—and instead got a bullet to the leg.

Didier Drogba

The Ivory Coast International is a terrible teammate and seems utterly uninterested in passing unless absolutely necessary. He would much prefer to score himself and get all the credit.

The Chelsea striker is a renowned diver, mostly because he fashions himself a free kick-taker extraordinaire. It's enjoyable to watch how upset Drogba gets when Frank Lampard decides he wants to take the shot.

Drogba is the antithesis of a team player and is hated by fans and players alike.
